I wish you could see this card in person! The design and sentiment are on a reflective silver paper which really brings so much elegance to the card. I just could not capture it in a photograph! If you have an opportunity to purchase Kanban products, be on the look out for this collection - it is really stunning!

Today I am going to show you how to make this dimensional flower using the Circle Maker!

Our first step is to punch out 20 large circles and 7 small circles. I am using the Reflections Designer-Print Paper which is double sided (if you are wanting to use different papers, you will need 10 large circles for the first layer, and 9 large circles for the second layer).

Note: You will have one extra large circle which is explained below).

Next, we are going to fold each circle into a cone, leaving one large circle for the flower base. I folded my large circles so 10 with the green side showing and 9 with the gray side showing. All 7 of my small circles were folded with the green side showing.

Cover your base with adhesive strips as shown above.

Adhere 10 of the large circles to the base, flatten the bottom of the cones to the adhesive.

Next, adhere the second layer of the large circles, changing colors as shown.

Then add in the third layer with the smaller circles.

Using a small paper flower from the Reflections Paper Flowers, attach to the center of the flower using a small foam square. Add in a small heart using the Silver Metallic Precious Element Fine-Tip Pen then attach your flower to your project!

For my last project I pulled inspiration from Pinterest! I found a ribbon bookmark out on the boards the other day and thought that it would be perfect to duplicate but with paper! I stitched two 7-1/2" x 1" strips of pattern paper together from the Kaleidoscope Pyramid Pad. I wrapped each open end of the paper around an elastic hair band and then stitched each side closed. I placed the Charm Setting on a small metal loop and then attached it to the elastic hair band!

These are super easy and quick to make and they would be a great gift for any reader!

And my most favorite embellishment pack from the Hello Fall line? ...the paper flower kit! The flowers are already cut, all you have to do is score, fold, then mix and match the pieces together to create an amazing display of flowers!

This is one of the quickest boxes I have ever created and I think it is just perfect to hide money or gift cards on the Christmas tree! These would even be cute to hold "hints" about where gifts are hidden!

I wrapped the red cardstock to form a loop then pressed the two ends on each side in to form a pillow box. I then added in a frame from the Christmas Green Wreath papers! I punched a hole and tied twine from The Twinery so that the box could hang on the tree!

I would like to introduce you to Eton the Turkey, my most favorite Kanban Wobbler yet...!

He comes with the fork and knife, but I added the "eat beef" banner to give him a little help to make it through this Thanksgiving season! ...really, who would eat Turkey if they were all this stinkin' cute!?

Creative Memories recently release Storybook Creator 4.0 software! If you have not ever tried the software, you really should! They have a free trial download that they offer on their site which you can find HERE. I have played with many programs and this by far is my favorite...it is easy to use, has lots and lots of built in features, and CM offers a lot of tutorials on their digi site! You can purchase CM digital content or import other kits! I use the program not only for digital layout and hybrid projects, but for creating word art, photo collages, and tutorials for my blog! This is one product that I can not function without - really, I love it that much!

The layout above was created using SBC 4.0 and the CM Serene Digital Kit which was included in my 4.0 upgrade!

It seems to be everywhere and even earlier than last year...but I think I say that every year! This weekend I busted out some Kanban Stamps and colored up these adorable Santas from the Happy Christmas acrylic stamps!

Each year the football staff allows me to be down on the field capturing all the memories I want with my camera! Even though I get in there way from time to time, they are always allowing me to capture the kids and they never complain (at least not to me) about it! So as a thank you, I create each of them a scrapbook with photos and scores from each game along with some extra shots, including individuals shots and after hour get togethers! I also put a DVD of all the photos I captured at the back of each book!

It has been a while since I have offered a printable/download so I thought that pulling out some turkeys would be suitable! I always love seeing what others create with my printables, so be sure to link me up in the comments section so I can come take a look!
